Los Angeles is throwing shade at its water problem — literally.
The city has deployed a total of 96 million "shade balls" into the LA Reservoir in an effort to save 300 million gallons of water.
California is currently in the midst of its worst drought on record, and all hands are on deck to conserve the state's precious water supply.
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, for its part, is contributing to the effort by rolling out thousands of small, black plastic balls to protect water quality by "preventing sunlight-triggered chemical reactions, deterring birds and other wildlife, and protecting water from rain and wind-blown dust," according to a press release from LA Mayor Eric Garcetti.

The Voice (TV series)

The Voice is a reality television singing competition franchise. It is based on the reality singing competition The Voice of Holland, which was originally created by Dutch television producer John de Mol. Many other countries have adapted the format and began airing their own versions since 2011. It has become a rival to the Idols franchise and The X Factor.

History

John de Mol, creator of Big Brother, first created The Voice concept with Dutch singer Roel van Velzen. The show distinguishes itself as different from The X Factor and Idols as The Voice primarily focuses on singing ability and prowess of an artist alone.

Format

Contestants are aspiring singers drawn from public auditions. The show's format features four stages of competition. The first is the blind auditions, in which the four coaches, all noteworthy recording artists, listen to the contestants in chairs facing away from the stage so as to avoid seeing them. If a coach likes what they hear from that contestant, they press a button to rotate their chairs to signify that they are interested in working with that contestant. If more than one coach presses their button, the contestant chooses the coach he or she wants to work with. The blind auditions end when each coach has a set number of contestants to work with. Coaches will dedicate themselves to developing their singers mentally, musically and in some cases physically, giving them advice, and sharing the secrets of their success.

Situated in Southern California, Los Angeles is known for its mediterranean climate, ethnic diversity, sprawling metropolis, and as a major center of the American entertainment industry. Los Angeles lies in a large coastal basin surrounded on three sides by mountains reaching up to and over 10,000 feet (3,000m).

Recreation in Chino Hills

The City of Chino Hills provides a variety of options for residents and non-residents within the area ranging from sports, equestrian activities, and locations to host private events. Big League Dreams Sports Park, is a multi-use sports facility, its 33 acres attracts tournaments, visitors, and new commercial ventures. Chino Hills is home of the McCoy Equestrian and Recreation Center, the facility has a large community room, outdoor wedding areas along with three lighted horse arenas, covered bleachers, gazebo, and connections to the trail system. McCoy is utilized for community events, horse show competitions and also for private events such as small receptions and parties. Recently added to the city is the Chino Hills Community Center, the city's largest complex which hosts numerous classes, large events such as weddings and banquets. The Chino Hills Community Center is located between the McCoy Center and Community Park. Chino Hills is also home of the Los Serranos Golf & Country Club which opened in 1925 and continues to be a favored community attraction. Chino Hills has recently built a new state of the art library, James S. Thalman Chino Hills Branch with excellent reading and technology use opportunities.

LA throws 96 million 'shade balls' at its water shortage — and it's mesmerizing | Mashable

Los Angeles is throwing shade at its water problem — literally.
The city has deployed a total of 96 million "shade balls" into the LA Reservoir in an effort to save 300 million gallons of water.
California is currently in the midst of its worst drought on record, and all hands are on deck to conserve the state's precious water supply.
The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, for its part, is contributing to the effort by rolling out thousands of small, black plastic balls to protect water quality by "preventing sunlight-triggered chemical reactions, deterring birds and other wildlife, and protecting water from rain and wind-blown dust," according to a press release from LA Mayor Eric Garcetti.
